Vincent Pyramid, Pennine Alps, 2 Day Guided Ascent
Fantastic people and very good guides. I did with them Dufourspitze Cresta Rey, Piramide Vincent and Punta Giordani Soldier\'s Ridge and Lyskamm Sella Ridge. They do what they promise and get you to the summit.

Freeride day at the Dolomites
Great day with Renato, he looked after us well and took us down some great off piste. We were very lucky with sunshine and fresh powder.

Freeride skiing at Marmolada, Dolomites
We had a great day skiing off piste with Etienne on Marmolada. He is a superb off piste mountain guide and having grown up skiing on the mountain with his father who is also a mountain guide, he has a vast knowledge of the Mountain and the conditions, together with the local history. The communication and advice in advance of the trip was also excellent, particularly regarding the best places in the area to hire skis and avalanche equipment. In summary, I have no hesitation in recommending Gauthier and Etienne - we had a superb day and would very highly recommend this trip.

Freeride day at La Thuile
We had a fantastic day with Alesandro in La Thuile. It had not snowed much for over 3 weeks, so he recommended that we go Ski Touring, and we managed to find fresh tracks. Could not have gone better!

Monte Rosa, guided freeride ski
Our guide was Pietro and not marco like we initially thought. Pietro was awesome, it is all about his clients and most importantly safety. We did two runs and it was an incredible experience. Guide is a must to explore the hidden spots because Monterosa ski is massive.

Aosta Valley Guided Backcountry Skiing Trips
We had a fantastic day with Elis doing ski touring in the Aosta Valley. He was easy-going, yet very professional, and had a good knowledge of the area. He made safe route choices on a day with considerable avalanche risk and shared some nice tips and tricks along the way. He was able to communicate well in both Italian, French and English. We would not hesitate with using him for future trips

Freeride skiing at Marmolada, Dolomites
We chose Etienne because of his unusual qualities of being a qualified as a ski instructor as well as an IFMGA mountain guide, and we were not disappointed. The combination of his knowledge, experience and friendly enthusiasm enabled us to enjoy a variety of conditions in the Dolomites while improving our technique through fun and innovative approaches. I would have no doubt about hiring Etienne again and highly recommend him as an instructor and/or a guide.

Aosta Valley Guided Backcountry Skiing Trips
We had a very exciting trip in Valle d’Aosta with Elis. A first day of free-riding for warming up, followed by three days of ski-touring in the beautiful valleys between Courmayeur and Aosta… Being also in contact with other guides, Elis has been able to find the best spots considering the changing weather and the quality of the snow. He is always keen to share his knowledge of the mountain and of the Valle d’Aosta’s back-country, where he grew up. Also therefore, we had a lot of pleasure in sharing with him well deserved meals at very nice places he would recommend… I would highly recommend him for discovering this region.

Val d\'Aoste is such a fantastic destination for skitouring. Overlooked by many, it offers stunning valleys to explore as you pass one charming village after another up a mountain road. Elis was the perfect guide to explore his native backcountry: deep local knowledge allows him to make the best of any weather and snow conditions - and book the best table for a well-deserved recovery and some fine Italian pasta. He\'s a super nice, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide I would highly recommend

Elis took us to various places around Aosta for four days. We had varying weather conditions and he was able to navigate those and get us to great snow every day even though there hadn\'t been a snow fall in 10 days. The routes were adjusted to the team\'s abilities and he took good care of us and the motivation of the troops, in particular in light of my fear of heights. Given his excellent knowledge of the region, Elis was spot on in his choices of places in terms of scenery, wilderness and isolation from any nuisance. He is also a fantastic companion with whom we enjoyed endless meals, espresso\'s and drinks. I\'d highly recommend him.
The landscape, scenery and terrain in Italy is renowned as some of the most stunning in Europe, with mountains, lakes, valleys, beaches and forests stretching from the North to the South and in to the Mediterranean. This diversity ensures that splitboarding is never boring, with the sights, sounds and delights of the countryside providing some truly spectacular views from high up on the snowy slopes of the mountains.

The regions that make up Italy are all very diverse in their cultures, traditions and customs, especially between the North and the South. Try and sample and experience these cultural differences when travelling around. Some of the splitboarding can be extremely tough and challenging, so please have a good level of fitness and prior experience before undertaking
I have had many varied events with Elis (from ski mountaineering , climbing and hiking, from 2017 to present)and each one was challenging, enjoyable, informative and above all safe. Always a new experience with Elis and always a view to making the trip memorable.
